For Fengjun, these two things are already in place. When it comes to suffering, there is no need to say more about the blood and tears since the Opium War, and the consecutive victories over Russia and Japan gave Fengjun strong confidence. These British soldiers, they don't have any flinch or fear.

Faced with this situation, the British hesitated a little. Robert called an interpreter over and asked him to negotiate with Feng Jun.

Like a dog, the interpreter nodded and bowed, turned his head, and became fierce and came to the front of the Fengjun cordon, shouting loudly: "Call your officers out, you dare to seize the church of the British Empire, you Are you poor and crazy, or do not want to die, don’t you know how to write the word dead?”

As soon as he yelled a few words, several cold muzzles were pointed at his head, and two soldiers led him behind like a chicken.

Tian Mu was standing here, glanced coldly at the translator, and said, "Why did the British ask you to come here?"

This guy was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "Sir, this Notre Dame is a church in England. According to the treaty between China and Britain, even if it committed a crime, it should be handed over to Britain according to consular jurisdiction. Get out!"

Tian Mu sneered: "Go back and tell the British that this is no longer an ordinary criminal case. This church is suspected of conspiring to subvert China, raising spies, and maliciously killing Chinese people. If the British government insists on protecting Notre Dame, then there is only one such thing as war." road!"

Hearing Tian Mu's tough statement made the translator's brow sweat, Tian Mu ignored him, but waved his hand to tell him to get out of here.

After the interpreter went back, he added embellishments and said: "Mr. Major, these Chinese people don't have the British Empire at all. Don't mention how ugly they are. How dare they insult you, and even said that the nuns in the church were arrested by them. , has been ruined!"

"asshole!"

When Robert heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said to the British soldiers: "Guys, pick up your guns, and teach these damned yellow-skinned monkeys a lesson, and let them know what will happen when they invade the British Empire."

These British troops also immediately made preparations for battle. Robert also estimated that the number of Fengjun's troops is not large, only more than 100 people. He has the upper hand, so there should be no problem. Of course he doesn't know, these Fengjun's troops They are all the elite among the elite. If he dares to touch them, he will definitely end up bleeding.

Just when Robert was about to give the order to launch an attack, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and a cavalry was blown in front of him like a whirlwind.

It was Ma Zhanshan who led the army, and he also led the army into Beijing according to Zhang Tinglan's order.

Facing countless cavalrymen, Robert suddenly felt fear. The horseshoes stepped on the bluestone road and made neat sounds. Every sound seemed to be stepped on his heart, which made him feel the fear from the depths of his soul.Obviously, this army is an iron-blooded army that came out of the flames of war, and Robert unconsciously put down his raised hand.

Ma Zhanshan led the cavalry and surrounded all the British troops, and the Notre Dame was also under control.

"Mr. Ma, since you are here, the pressure on our shoulders will be much lighter!" Tian Mu said with a smile.

Ma Zhanshan jumped off his horse and walked over a few steps: "How is the situation? Have you got all the witnesses and physical evidence inside? Can the commander wait for these things?"

"I got it all!"

"Okay, then, I'll arrange someone to escort you right away, and send the things to the commander as soon as possible." Ma Zhanshan looked at the British army again, and sneered: "Disarm them all, and send them back to the Eastern Suburbs." lane."

Although Robert knew that it would be embarrassing for the Chinese to disarm, but facing ten times the force, they didn't want to hit a stone with an egg, and surrender was not a serious problem in the West.

The more than 300 British troops were all sent back to Dongjiaomin Lane. Ma Zhanshan immediately mobilized a cavalry division to block Dongjiaomin Lane. Tian Mu and Xue Ju escorted the witnesses and evidence, and immediately went to meet Zhang Tinglan.

When these files and letters were put in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded, especially Cai Yuanpei. He never thought that the academic freedom he had always advertised no longer existed at all. It is true that universities are not controlled by the government. But the university has fallen into the hands of the big powers and has become a tool for them to manipulate China.

There are not many teachers directly controlled by the British, but they have cultivated a group of pro-British scholars through academic exchanges and funding, and then through these people, influence the public opinion of the entire academic circle. Behind every major event, there is a shadow of their manipulation .

After reading some materials, Cai Yuanpei almost fell to the ground. He said in pain: "These great powers are really planning to turn China into a colony. This is just Britain. If you count Japan, the United States, France, and Italy Waiting for the country, how many people in the huge Chinese academic circle are really thinking about this country, it's sad! Sad!"

After Zhang Tinglan saw it, he was also shocked, but he still said: "Mr. Cai, many of these teachers and students are not sincerely acting as traitors, but are influenced by the invisible trend of Westernization. In other words, they have been brainwashed." The government's ideological management is nothing more than a tangible thing, while the external ideological control is invisible, more terrifying, and more vicious!"

……

Feng Jun searched the Notre Dame Cathedral and found a lot of criminal evidence. The news spread like wildfire. In fact, it was Zhang Tinglan who released it on purpose, and it was also to clear up all the previous fallacies.After some people heard this, they felt a bone-chilling chill.

Several professors and scholars gathered in a hidden courtyard and began to discuss. Chen Yuxiu first said: "Everyone, now that the Fengjun has sealed off Dongjiaomin Lane, I guess they have indeed obtained real evidence, otherwise they would never have the guts. Now The question is what should we do, and the government will definitely use this as an excuse to completely suppress the voice of the academic community."

"Of course we can't sit still, but if the evidence is really solid, we can't refute it!" Guo Qingren said.

Zhou Hanguang suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "This is a political struggle. It only talks about success or failure, not right or wrong. Is the big guy willing to be controlled by the government every day and become a meek lackey?"

Chapter 7 Thirteen Instantly Destroyed

Chen Yuxiu thought about it carefully, and then said: "Brother Zhou is right. Politics only talks about success or failure, not right and wrong. If we fail, who will uphold justice and lead the times? No matter what, we will If it cannot be defeated by Zhang Tinglan, an independent husband, being responsible for democratic and constitutional governance will become empty talk!"

"That being said, I'm afraid it won't work with just a few of us!" Guo Qingren said with some anxiety, "We only have pens, but no guns. Zhang Tinglan is ruthless. Could it be that we have to use our foreheads to fight guns?"

Zhou Hanguang smiled and waved his hands: "Of course it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Zhang Tinglan has offended many people, and there will always be someone willing to take action against him."

"Oh? Brother Zhou, what's the plan?"

"This is how I see it. First of all, there is a conflict between Cao Kun and Zhang Tinglan, and there are also many troops in the Beijing-Tianjin area. With them as helpers, there is no need to be afraid of Zhang Tinglan's influence. In addition, most of the Fengjun this time. People have been offended to death, plus the previous Japanese, as long as they move around and let the big powers come forward together to deal with Fengjun, it should not be a problem. In the end, the attitude of President Li Yuanhong is also very important. Don't think he is just a puppet, but there are Obeying his order is equivalent to having Shang Fang's sword. These three parties will work together, and we will use public opinion to exert pressure. At that time, Zhang Tinglan will definitely fall!"

When Chen Yuxiu heard this, she clapped her palms and laughed: "This is a good idea, if all parties attack together, even if Zhang Tinglan has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to handle it!"

Several other professors listened and nodded frequently, thinking that this plan is very good. Guo Qingren also had a smile on his face, and couldn't help saying: "Your plan is good, but once Zhang Tinglan is overthrown, who should this power fall to?" In his hands? Do we want to enter the government?"

Zhou Hanguang said with a smile: "We are for the freedom of the academic world and for the common people in the world. We are not trying to covet any official positions or do things out of a public heart. Of course, if someone is willing to ask us to be the leader, it is not impossible."

There were clear smiles on the faces of these people, and soon they took action. Some went to the President Li Yuanhong, and some contacted Cao Kun.There were still people who managed to get in touch with each other, and the rest started to write articles and launched a larger-scale denunciation action.

Just as these literati started their operations, British Minister Ashton also hurriedly found the Vice President's residence.The ambassador has long since lost his calmness in the past, but he knows the things in Notre Dame too well.If it leaks out, it will do great damage to Britain's image.Can't stand him not being in a hurry.

But he was in a hurry.Zhang Tinglan was not in a hurry, and made Eston wait for half an hour before Zhang Tinglan came to the living room slowly. Eston, who was already impatient, stood up quickly when he saw Zhang Tinglan coming: "Your Excellency, Vice President. Your army attacked the church of the empire and detained a large number of clergymen, seriously breaking the treaty between the two parties. I think this is a very dangerous and wrong act. It should be corrected immediately."

Zhang Tinglan didn't take up Eston's words, but said with a smile: "After reading some of the files of Notre Dame, I can only describe it in four words, which is shocking! Only now do I really understand why the British Empire To be able to dominate the world and rule the world, with such painstaking efforts, I am afraid that there will be no other family in the world."

"Your Excellency, there may be some misunderstandings between us, but I think we should abide by the treaty between us, which is the basis for maintaining relations between countries."

Zhang Tinglan sneered slightly: "Mr. Minister, any treaty between enemy countries is invalid, so you don't need to say more!"

As soon as Eston heard this, the color of his face suddenly changed wildly, his pupils instantly shrank into a pinprick, and he asked after a while, "Your Excellency, Vice President, do you want to declare war?"

"It's not what I think. Over the years, there have been some things that China has jumped up on its own initiative. I have a lot of evidence in my hand about how many nasty things you have done in China. None of them are more serious than the Sarajevo incident. If the UK can't change course, We just have to fight to the death.”

Speaking of which, Zhang Tinglan threw a document in front of Eston, which recorded various espionage activities in the UK over the years, and several major incidents that had been secretly planned.

After reading it, Eston couldn’t help calling damn it. There are many things that countries can do but can’t say. Big moldy, let Zhang Tinglan hold the handle in his hands, it is too passive.

Barely calming down, Eston said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, is there no room for redemption between us?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Of course, if the UK is willing to apologize for the murder and agree to amend the unequal treaty with China, maybe we can maintain a normal relationship."

"Impossible!" Ashton flatly refused: "Your Excellency, the British Empire will never apologize for the non-existent case. If you insist on doing so, we will take sanctions. Don't forget, national trade is still in control. In the hands of the empire, as long as we want to, we can cut off your connection with the world at any time."

What Ashton said is not a lie. The current pound is almost equivalent to the US dollar in future generations. London is the financial center of the world. If the British make up their minds and sanction China, it will definitely be a huge blow to China's economy. It is also a trump card for the British.

However, Eston may not have noticed that his statement just showed the weak side of Britain.There will no longer be the Eight-Power Allied Forces in this world, and Britain has no ability to cross half of the world and go to the Far East to launch large-scale battles.

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "No one is not afraid of the sanctions of the British Empire, but if you want to rely on this to scare China, you are wishful thinking. To be honest, the Ministry of Finance is discussing a currency swap agreement with Italy. Settlements can be done without the pound.”

In order to seize financial power, Zhang Tinglan has already implemented a currency swap plan in China, and now it is not a problem to spread it abroad.But when Eston heard this, the expression on his face changed completely, Zhang Tinglan's move.Just hit the pain of the British.

After the First World War, the empire on which the sun never sets has reached the level of Jia's family. Although the shelf is not down, but the inner bag is also up.Since the navy and the Americans were on an equal footing, the British Empire has only the last straw of financial hegemony. Once it is shaken, the empire will really be doomed.

But Zhang Tinglan didn't have any scruples about Eston's already dark face, and continued: "This swap agreement can be signed not only with Italy, but also with the United States and France, and even Japan is within our consideration."

"Wishful thinking. The British Empire will never allow you to do this, and the relationship between the great powers is not something you can leverage. In addition, the imperial government will not only sanction your trade, and China's currency and bonds will instantly become a pile of waste paper, and the economy would collapse in an instant.”
